CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application filed December 8, 1927, Serial No. 238,702, and in Germany Ju1yc2'7, 1927.-

This invention relates to a cigaretteholder.

The novelty consists in that on the sleeve,

forming the cigarette-holder proper, i. e. de-

signed to hold the cigarette,-another sleeve is shiftably arranged so that it can be pulled as protecting tubeover the portion of the cigarette projecting from the holder and" over the glowing end of the same. 10 \Vhen the smoker wants to lay aside the ited cigarette, he shifts merely the proting tube over the the same such a distance that the lighted end is just covered. The support is not damaged, even when it consists of inflammable material like a wt)den-table pl.atei or a table-cloth. In th perfectly covered state the cigarette iiinues to burn a certain time and it can smoked ag in when the protecting tube 1 led back. When, however, the is covered so that the glowing point rther down in the protecting tube, acot the air is prevented and extinguishtakes place innnediately. A sm'ol'cable inc; remainder remains consequently'st ll n the holder. The protecting tube has to h be pushed back etore the relighting and smoking of the cigarette. The protecting tube pushed over the cigarette serves therefore a so to prevent the fag-end of the cigarette '5' cm continuing to glow or from glowing after it has been laid down, whereby to the smoker the losses are saved, 'whieh were hitherto connected with the putting down of the cigarette.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated, by way of example, in theaccompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section showing the improved cigarette-holder.

The cigarette-holder, according to the invention, consists of a sleeve a for holding the-cigarette, of a protecting tube 6, and 01* an outer guide-sleeve c for the protecting The sleeves-(L and c are connected the one with the other at the mouth-pieceend by ashort tube at which serves at the same time as'guide torthe mouth-piece f which is constructed to serve as cigaretteejeetor. The tube 5 shiftably mounted between the sleeves a and c and made of inoombustible material has a projection g which projects in outward direction through a longitudinal slot 7) of the outer sleeve 0 and makes it possible to shift theprotectiiu; tube Z). The cross-section of the sleeve may be circular, oval 0r cornered. It is further possible to adapt the length of the protecting tu ie to any cigarette length, so that even the longest cigarette may be covered.
